It's almost time for our FREE October half term event... The Witches of Chelmsford. We're getting ready to bring a magical programme of FREE family fun for all ages, including the pop-up Essex Witch Museum inside Shire Hall, helping you discover Chelmsford's witchy history.
🕯️ The museum will help you step back and explore fascinating tales from the witch trials and find out why Essex was down as "Witch County"!
🧙 This location will also be the collection point for picking up your spell book and act as the starting point for your magical journey along the city centre Tarot trail.
